Re: Melo suspended for tomorrow's game

The NBA and David Stern are smarter than you think. They suspend Melo for the Pacers game because the Pacers just came off a very emotional win over the HEAT and with Amare on limited minutes, Felton out and now Melo out this game suddenly becomes a huge trap game. And the Knicks then get Melo back for the Chicago game. See how that works?

That's only an issue if we relax, which against the Knicks I don't think the Pacers will be doing any of that! I expect the Knicks to get some hot shooting one half or the other and it'll be a close game.

Create an ignore list. I know it may seem unneighborly. But you're here to talk about the Pacers, not argue with someone who's just looking for an argument. Most of the regular users on here make use (at least occasionally) of the "Ignore" feature. Just go to "Settings" -> "Edit Ignore List" and add the names.

Re: Melo suspended for tomorrow's game

Didn't really know where to put this, but Reggie and the Dutchman will be in the house tonight. Not really surprising Rik comes to a fair share of games, but I wonder the last time they were both in the fieldhouse together.

Re: Melo suspended for tomorrow's game

Not to mention Team USA member Tyson Chandler, and former All-Stars Roy and West, and future All-Star Paul.

But other than all of them, why bother going to this game. I don't know how anyone talks any family into going into any non Lakers, Thunder, Heat or Knicks game at this point. Maybe some Celts game due to nostalgia.

It's fine they'd like to see Melo but he's far from the #1 NBA star nor the only star in this game.

This is passing up a Reds-Yanks game in 1995 because Barry Larkin is sitting out and the Yanks only have some rookie named Derek Jeter. And that's not crazy. I coached LL back then and none of the kids knew Jeter and they all loved Larkin. But if they'd been able to see Jeter instead of Larkin they'd sure be happy to talk about it today.

It's still the #1 NBA facility, national TV, Reggie Miller's return and freaking PG & Co. headed to a very possible ECF/Finals run. It's just a teensy bit more appealing that hanging out at home. And 10 years from now they can tell everyone how they saw PG "back when he was nobody".

Update... RT @ScottAgness: George Hill didn’t participate in shootaround but the Pacers have classified him as probable tonight vs NY.

There is no way. What is the dude doing to himself. It's okay to miss this game if he was really as sick as it seemed. Unless he was covering up a hangover (I don't think he was) then I don't see what good can come from playing tonight.

And I assume McKey. Let's go Tony and Dale, too bad about Jax's day job keeping him busy.
